Always wondered How to Cook Fresh Green Beans? Well, wonder no more. The secret to perfect green beans is to have a bowl of ice water nearby as you cook them. The second you remove the beans from the heat, drain the cooking water and dunk in ice water to cool them down completely.
To make these beans, start by bringing a large pan of salted water to a boil. Blanch the green beans in the water for 2 minutes before draining and immersing in ice water. Toss the blanched green beans with the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper to season and add flavor.
